| |

| |

Can you, on your next foray into spin, just copy over all the info from the "Ltd" page and put it into the appropriate places on the newer Carrot page? also include any categories etc that are not in the newer page.

| |

| |
| − | Hi Miriam
| |
| − |
| |
| − | I reorganised AEA Tech and David seems to have done Carrot (he is very efficient!), so no need to do anything on those. In general before starting a new page it is always useful to type the name of the org into search box on left and hit Search (not Go) to see if anything similar exists. we need to avoid duplication. sometimes the old, existing page has an outdated name and it would be better to redirect to a new page with new name, as in the AEA case. Have a look at how I have done the redirect in AEA Technology by going to that page and hitting edit. Then you will know how to do redirects, if you don't already.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | I think you are doing great. only one comment which is to reference every piece of info you can, no matter how trivial, as it seems even the trivial info is important to someone. I hope my broadband connection will be up and running again Fri so will have a closer look at things then.I assume you are developing the climate portal?

| |
| − | Hi Miriam
| |
| − |
| |
| − | all sounds good. Personally I think a "who's asking for what at COP15 and why" ie those who they really want, would be great. and/or maybe "What are real solutions vs what the big guys will be pushing for?". we could put it on Spinwatch and press release it too?? The African babies thing is outrageous, as is the constant distraction of blaming the third world and their attempts to industrialise for the whole emissions disaster. The methane from livestock thing has always made me angry too, as the fact is that grain-based diets ferment in cows' guts--on a natural grass, hay and silage based diet they do not create as much gas...

| |

| |
| − | I am very happy with your plan. I have a list of press email addes (some email addes in it are defunct but one just has to put up with some bounces) that I can forward to you to use. I can guide you if needed on sending out press releases but probably you know how to do it. Unfortunately I will need to ask you to send them out as am under the gun with deadlines. But basically it's a matter of copying and pasting in the email addes all at once into the "to" section of your press release email. Press release should have your name and phone no so they can call you. Give Spinprofiles links to relevant articles if poss in your release. Do put the release thru me and David for us to check before putting it out.

questions
HI Miriam
About FoI, I have asked David to reply to you on that as he is the expert on FoI requests.
re who's running Act on Cop, I can only find this re their website -- seems to be a govt thing purely
http://www.actoncopenhagen.decc.gov.uk/en/about
at foot of page.
re who's running Road to Cop, see http://www.roadtocopenhagen.org/ and click on Sponsors and Partners at foot of page.
assume you know about
http://www.spinprofiles.org/index.php/Copenhagen_2009:_Who%27s_Who
as to who is sponsoring COP15, quite scary--I know you have worked on this page recently so sure you do know.
re an article, wd be fantastic if you could do one re who's running all these joints -- personally I think that the "who's running COP 15" topic is food enough but would be good if you could find out anything more. NB we need to addres that question about, does it matter that car cos, airline cos etc sponsor these things as they have been part of prob. but maybe it's good because they can also be part of solution?? what way are car and airline cos going re the fuel they depend on? do they want to prolong the oil culture?
if you do an article -- can be very plain, just who and what -- then we can publicise thru twitter, spinwatch etc.
pls do add to climate portal page whatever you like -- this is definitely the idea of spin and my role is just to make sure that dodgy stuff doesn't go in and to edit what does go in, in line with our style, grammar etc. continuous improvement is the idea...
many thanks for your great work.

you have 2003, not sure which is right. looked for the source you mention, Newcastle Journal,
THE JOURNAL (Newcastle, UK). 'Jonny's made it a palace hat-trick', December 31, 2003

Al Federation
HI Miriam
http://www.spinprofiles.org/index.php?title=Aluminium_Federation
few little things:
1. can u give source for this
ALFED also run the All-Party Parliamentary Group for the UK Aluminium Industry.
2. if using indented block quotes (using a colon to indent block quote), don't use quote marks in addition, unless you need them for quotes within the quote, if that makes sense.
3. use colon to lead into quotes, not semicolon, and avoid using "that" before the quote, in constructions like "said that:" Just "said" is neater. eg
When he got into power in 2001, Smith appointed a biotech lobbyist as his environment secretary. Smith said:
- I thought it was a good idea at the time.
that's it! glad you are working on the Al industry.
